- These are the six
worst purchases you can make
Black Friday 2019,
plus one trending sale you don't want to miss.
(upbeat intro music)
Hi, I'm the YouTube deal guy, Matt Granite
from mattsdailydeals.com
where I curate and post the best deals,
not just Black Friday and Cyber Monday and Prime Day
but every day,
so if you're not yet subscribed,
I am giving away everything that I showcase here
for the holiday season for free to subscribers.
Just make sure you're subscribed to this channel.
Also, make sure you're on my email list,
which you can sign up for on mattsdailydeals.com.
With that being said, there are six,
I will say areas, products, sales,
things that you completely want to avoid.
In fact, if you buy any of these items on Black Friday,
you're gonna end up spending
sometimes 20% more if you waited until Cyber Monday,
so with that being said, let's start.
First, with the items I would not buy,
and then I will show you that one product I would buy.
I would not buy or shop for
anything related to fitness.
So, reminder if you are looking for fitness products,
those deals are sometimes better on Cyber Monday,
but for the most part,
treadmills and all those other incentives are tied to the
New Year's resolutions that many people make
in January.
The longer you wait, the more you will save.
Keep in mind that 2020 is right around the corner.
If you are planning to tackle
any of those store-wide sales,
that's when you go onto GAP or Banana Republic
or Abercrombie, whatever stores that you like,
Bed Bath & Beyond, any website like that.
If there is a store-wide sale,
you're always going to do better on Cyber Monday.
An example would be,
if you were shopping a store-wide sale,
that would be 30% off on Black Friday,
on Cyber Monday, it's likely to be 40%
with free shipping.
So, you're generally going to do 10-20% better
for those store-wide sales if you wait
until Cyber Monday.
Please keep that in mind.
Don't let stores overwhelm you with pressure
to shop for something on Black Friday
when you will do a lot better as those
huge store-wide blanket reductions on Cyber Monday.
Speaking of blankets, we'll get to that in a moment.
But the next category I would not buy
under any circumstance on Black Friday
is jewelry.
Now, I know you're gonna see a lot of jewelry sales,
but keep in mind, if you can wait,
Valentine's Day is synonymous with jewelry promotions.
The two weeks leading up to Christmas
also bring many of the best reductions that are
on par with the month of February.
If you are absolutely desperate
for some type of mall jewelry
that's not the same quality as Blue Nile
or one of those other websites you might find online,
well, yeah, you can tackle it on Black Friday,
but if you wait,
that patience will pay off.
Don't buy anything patio or outdoor related.
I know that when we shop Black Friday,
sometimes if you are specifically shopping in a store,
you're gonna see a really interesting closeout deal
on a patio set.
That is a store trying to close inventory
that they simply cannot move.
It's generally not a deal.
A lot of those patio manufacturers
are not cranking out the incentives when
at least two-thirds of the country
is enjoying at least some form of winter.
Don't buy those items on Black Friday.
With that being said,
while outdoor appliances are not a great deal,
indoor appliances?
Amazing and one of the best purchase
you can make on Black Friday.
Reminder that on mattsdailydeals.com,
if you wanna cut your cost by up to 40% on appliances,
I do have you covered.
Do not buy toys on Black Friday.
Toys, as you can imagine,
drop closer to Christmas in terms of prices.
We will see the best toy deals and incentives
17 days leading up to Christmas
is when those sales generally start.
Hold off if you can.
And finally, as the sixth product category
I would not shop from on Black Friday,
gift cards.
I don't know if you are aware of this yet,
although gift cards are one of the most popular
stocking stuffers,
there are better gift card incentives on Cyber Monday,
and of course, on the days leading up to Christmas,
especially if you are shopping local,
you could save an additional 15%
or score a BOGO,
buy one, get one gift card deal
by not making a gift card purchase on Black Friday.
Now, I did mention there are great items
to buy on Black Friday, and of course,
I have all of the early deals:
gaming related items, TVs, laptops,
all listed on mattsdailydeals.com.
Sign up for my email newsletter,
you will get those in your inbox
before anyone else,
but hands down, the best purchase you can make
in one category today, which is hugely popular,
so that every time that I feature it,
I featured this three times last year
so that each time, which is why I'm flagging this
for you today as the one item to buy,
and that is the Gravity Weighted Blanket.
I want to remind you that not all weighted blankets
are created equal.
I used to hate weighted blankets
because it was just dead weight on top of me.
The Gravity Weighted Blanket, which is 15 pounds
of even weight distribution,
is one of the only ones in the country
that is both doctor recommended
and vouched for by sleep experts
and I have found this for its lowest recorded price.
So this is what you need to do to lock in the deal.
Head over to mattsdailydeals.com,
and reminder, that popup I told you about
is your key to scoring any item I test for free.
Get on my email list,
you will get your Black Friday deals delivered early.
You will see my most recently featured items
on the top carousel here.
Just click on the
New Sustainable Pur Gravity Weighted Blanket.
It is limited stock, which means this will sell out.
This is a very special deal.
You'll see the price drop off 129.99.
Click "buy product," add this to your shopping cart,
and make sure you check out to lock in that deal
before prices go back up.
I have never been a big fan of weighted blankets.
I do like this more than competitors,
and you'll also see from the reviews
that this is one of the bestselling ones in the country.
I found that deal first,
which is on mattsdailydeals.com.
I do use affiliate links,
which means I do get rewarded for the work that I do
by a few cents from your purchase,
which keeps me going,
and that's awesome.
It also fuels those giveaways.
I am giving away a weighted blanket,
as well as PS4 and a Nintendo Switch,
and these are all items that you can score
if you are on my Daily Deal List,
but more importantly,
that now you know what not to buy
if you do want to load up your shopping cart early,
score the incentives and not ruin your Thanksgiving.
I have the best early purchases also listed
on mattsdailydeals.com.
So, there you have it!
That's what I would not buy,
that's what I would buy today,
and we will not say goodbye
because the savings will not stop.
I will be back with more big deals right here tomorrow.
